About Us

We take a synergistic and interdisciplinary approach
to apply space-based observations, ground-based
measurements, and numerical model to study the
coupled ocean-atmosphere system.

We improve the monitoring, from space, of
ocean-atmosphere
exchanges in momentum, heat and water.

We study how these exchanges force ocean
circulation and distribute the heat, water,
greenhouse gases, and nutrients stored in the ocean.

We examine the effect of these exchanges on the
energy and hydrologic balances in the atmosphere.

We focus on seasonal-to-interannual variability
and predictability, but also examine how such
variability is affected by shorter time scales
(intra-seasonal) changes and longer time scales (decadal)
trend. We are planning to study the manifest of
long-term and global variability in local
and near-term hazards, such as hurricane and monsoon.
